5 years earlier, Dolph Lundgren had played He-Man in Masters of the Universe (1987). A sequel had been written but was abandoned and Albert Pyun rewrote the script and it went from Masters of the Universe 2 to Cyborg (1989) starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as Gibson Rickenbacker. See more »

You can't run from this war soldier! Not under my command. You're growing weak. You should have taken your... medication.

Alternate Versions
The Australian theatrical release of the film was heavily cut to receive an M rating. Gone were the head-shots to Vietnamese villagers, Scott getting the knife in the gut by Luc, the diner fight was heavily trimmed, a scientist getting impaled on a needle, the supermarket shootout and Dolph's demise on the farm machinery. All of these cuts were restored for an R rated VHS release and later, an MA15+ rated DVD/Bluray release. See more »
Nothing special whatsoever. I did not like this movie because there was nothing to it. A decent movie has to have a twist and en excellent movie will have multiple twists but this had none. It relied purely on the fact that Jean-Claude Van Damme was in it and that didn't carry it. It made a few bad attempts at humor but even put those in at the wrong times. There was nothing terribly original about the fight scenes either which I was surprised at because Jean-Claude Van Damme generally does have pretty good fight scenes but they just didn't seem to be there in this film.
The only reason I can give anyone to watch this movie is if you're an absolutely die hard Jean-Claude fan. Otherwise do not bother.
